BUG: Some Wizard Components Not Visible When Gray Text Used

 Last reviewed: June 27, 1995
Article ID: Q115195
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS

If the Windows Text setting in the Windows Control Panel is set to gray, some components of the wizards are not visible.

These components include screen text, radio buttons, and parts of some bitmaps.

NOTE: Text in a screen created by the Screen Wizard is not visible either.

CAUSE

The background color of the wizards is also gray, making it impossible to see the gray text.

RESOLUTION

Using the Color icon in Windows Control Panel, change the Windows Text setting to a color other than gray.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro version 2.6 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
